Bella Hadid Covers Vogue Italia, Looking Serene in Advance of Her Orabella Launch
/Bella Hadid Covers Vogue Italia, Looking Serene in Advance of Her Orabella Launch AOC Fashion
Precious words come from supermodel, businesswoman, activist Bella Hadid, who covers the April 2024 issue of Vogue Italia — and presumably other April Vogues as well.
In response to the question “How are you?”, asked by interviewer Sofia Viganò, Bella responds:
“Very good: for the first time since I can remember I am clear and present. I have the feeling that, by showing my most authentic self, things and people have aligned with my destiny."
Hadid is styled by Alex Jordan Harrington in inner cleansing-mode clothes, devoid of showstopping jewelry and other beautiful distractions.
Photographer Zoe Ghertner [IG] captures Bella’s inner equilibrium in images that are majorly more sober than those Bella Hadid revealed on her IG. Her makeup by Fara Homidi is minimal; hair by Jimmy Paul is maximal — unless Bella follows sister Gigi in a new bob cut.
Bella’s Texas State of Mind
With her enduring love of horses and now spending major amount of time in Ft. Worth, Texas with her guy National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Famer Adan Banuelos, Bella should be fronting the Fall 2024 Louis Vuitton Men’s cowboys campaign.
Orabella Launches May 2, 2024
The famous sister spoke with Vogue about her morning rituals but not with the same detail she recently expressed on TikTok. The question is a natural one with the upcoming launch of Bella’s beauty brand Orabella.
Hadid left people semi-speechless with her morning routine — one straight out of the Gwyneth Paltrow playbook. AOC wants to share it, but honestly, it’s a long post in itself. And very expensive, we will add. It must be said, that Bella has experienced serious health challenges with her family’s ongoing bouts with Lyme disease.
If this morning wellness routine suits her — and Bella can certainly afford it — it’s her life and body for her to nurture, as she desires.
Bella Hadid’s Palestinian Heritage
Asked about being a model of Palestinian origins on the cover of Vogue, Bella’s answer is succinct and apolitical.
Palestine is part of me, it runs in my blood. I am proud of my Palestinian and Dutch roots. Giving visibility to a group of people who are underrepresented has enormous importance for me: it shows that the Palestinian people have value. Not only that, it also gives girls and boys the chance to see that their hopes and dreams are achievable, regardless of where they come from or what they look like.
Anne has been studying daily the history of the region after Google accidentally landed me on Mohamed Hadid’s Instagram — which featured his daughter Bella’s info I was seeking. It’s a 5-star, hate-filled bonfire that plunged me into major despair with posts going up, then down, once FOX is writing about them. They’re in the way-back machine, and I have a collection.
In a happier moment that morning, I had found an Egyptian goddess Sekhmet pendant, and thought of Bella’s identity with her, expressed in another Vogue US interview for the April 2022 issue. I was so excited and about about to write about the pendant and my upcoming return of GlamTribal Design in Jewelry News.
